'PRETTY EXPERIENTIAL' COMPILATION
Split Release: No Logo Records Double CD and MP3 release on Kikapu Net.Label
In response to the fact that the overwhelming majority of so-called
'experimental' electronic music tends to be dark, harsh, and otherwise
obtrusive, we came up with the idea of releasing a compilation of
"beautiful" electronic music. What constitutes beautiful is of course
subject to debate, but we imagine you have a general enough idea to work
with.
To put it purposively vague, we are thinking broadly along the lines of
Boards of Canada, not Kid 606.
Genres including but not limited to: ambient, noise, electroacoustic,
microsound, glitch, IDM, melodic, hip hop, and dub.
Please, no stereotypical dance music: while there is likely a place in the
world for house, trance, drum n bass, etcetera, this compilation is not that
place.
We are currently accepting submissions for this compilation. Any group or
artist may submit. Submissions must be original material - no remixes or
samples from copyrighted works will be accepted. Deadline for submissions is
15 December 2002 with a tentative release date of 15 January 2002. To
submit, please send a link to an mp3 file and a bit of explanation in the
text of the email to infoATnologorecordsDOTcom do not email us mp3s! - links
only. There are many free or nearly free webhosting sites available. Please,
send final versions only - what you submit will be on the comp. Don't mail
us saying that you have "lots of good stuff, but . . ." or "this is
something for the comp, but it isn't finished yet." No more than 3
submissions per artist, and only one track per artist will be selected for
the compilation.
If your submission is selected for the compilation, you will be asked to
send a CDR with an unmastered version of your submission to us within one
week of our request.
Artists featured on the compilation will receive several free copies of the
release and will gain exposure to an international audience. No money will
change hands.
Arrangements for international distribution are already underway.
(FYI - wwwDOTnologorecordsDOTcom will be online sometime this week - DNS is
propogating . . . :) - likewise for the email - not available until later
this week . . . . )
